Give the Canes an A- and the Flames a C+.

Basically they feel there was no need for the Flames to add Fox as Hanfin/Lindholm for Hamilton/Ferland should have been enough.
I find it annoying when pundits and fans make determinations about what a player or collection of players "should" have garnered in a completed trade. Unless the deal is outrageously one-sided (i.e., Griffin Reinhart for draft picks #16, #33), then it is really too difficult to say what "should" have been exchanged without actually being party to the negotiations, or privy to other offers.
